Yan Shifang was surprised: "Did Mrs. Lu pass away, I didn't hear that he was sick before, did my uncle send a letter from Beijing?" ”

Yan Shaoting said: "It was an urgent letter from the second brother Yan Hu through the Jinyi Weihu, saying that Mrs. Lu died of a violent illness two days before the Double Ninth Festival. ”

Yan Shaoting said that the second brother Yan Hu is Yan Shifang's son, because Yan Shifan is in his thirties and has no heirs, Yan Song asked his nephew Yan Shifang to pass a son to Yan Shifan as a son, named Yan Hu, and at the same time passed to Yan Shifan as a son There is another son of the clan, named Yan Hong, Yan Hong is eighteen years old this year, Yan Hu is seventeen years old, two years ago Yan Hong Enyin was a member of the Zhongshu House, Yan Hu Enyin was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is currently in Beijing-

Yan Shifang sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, Mrs. Lu died young" and asked Yan Shaoqing and Yan Shaoting: "What did your father leave when he left?" ”

Yan Shaoting said: "Dad didn't say anything, only told the two of us to follow my uncle's teachings, study well, and come to pick us up in Beijing in the spring of the next year. ”

Yan Shifang nodded and said: "Then you two can study here with peace of mind, although you can enter the government from Enyin and do not have to go through the imperial examination, but it is always beneficial to study more, at least it will not make people ridicule me for not learning and not being able to learn." He said to Zeng Yu: "In an eventful autumn, Zeng Sheng has to worry more." ”

Zeng Yu bowed and said, "Yes." I thought: "Lu Taifu is Lu Bing, the leader of Jinyiwei, and Tao Zhongwen are dead before and after, Yan's father and son have great bad luck, it seems that the period of downfall is really not far away, Yan Song can be in power for 20 years, and Tao Zhongwen and Lu Bing's full help is inseparable, Tao Zhongwen needless to say, he joined Emperor Jiajing's preference for cultivating immortals; Lu Bing, is Jiajing's milk brother, Lu Bing's mother is the nurse of Emperor Jiajing, Lu Bing can be said to have grown up with Emperor Jiajing since childhood, Jiajing eight years Lu Bing as a martial artist awarded Jinyi Wei deputy thousand households, after that, although he grew around the emperor, but did not quickly take power, the turning point occurred in the eighteenth year of Jiajing, the emperor inspected Henan, in Wei Hui encountered a fire in the palace, it was Lu Bing who risked death to carry Emperor Jiajing out of the fire, it is conceivable that Emperor Jiajing has since trusted and favored Lu Bing, Lu Bing is in charge of Jinyi Guard, In recent years, he has entered the prince Taibao, the prince Taifu, and the head of Jinyiwei has taken the Taibao and the Taifu, and there is no precedent for the Ming generation——"

I thought again: "Last time, I heard the three idiot brothers say that Lu Bing has a good reputation in Shilin, at least better than Yan Song's father and son, Lu Bing respects talented scholars and doctors, Emperor Jiajing has been imprisoned many times because of the great rites, Lu Bing, as the leader of Jinyiwei, mediated and saved many officials involved in the case, and now that Lu Bing is dead, Yan Song is no longer powerless to help, and the surging undercurrent is about to set off a monstrous wave. ”

Zeng Yu accompanied Yan Shaoqing and Yan Shaoting brothers back to Qishan Hall, and listened to Yan Shaoting talk about his father Yan Shifan accidentally falling into the water last night out of nowhere, and returned to Jichang Garden wet, and coughed again and again on the road today-

Yan Shaoqing said: "I heard my mother say that my father slipped into the creek on the single-plank bridge at Aunt Lu's in Maple Bay before getting his clothes wet. ”

Yan Shaoting was a little unhappy, it seemed that Yan Shaoqing shouldn't know that he had more Tao than him, he was a son-in-law, and he should take the lead in everything.

Zeng Yu knew that Yan Shifan had drugged and raped Lu Miao's idea but fell into the creek, he was worried that Yan Shifan would have some dirty means to deal with Lu Miaoxiang, Lu Miaoxiang would have a hard time, and now that Yan Shifan had left, it really made him feel happy, and asked: "Did Miss Yingzi also return to Maple Bay?" ”

Yan Shaoqing said: "I'm back, I came back with the two of us, and my sister got off the sedan chair in Maple Bay." ”

"What kind of sister is it" Yan Shaoting sneered: "There is no name and no place at all. ”

Yan Shaoting This refers to Sang scolding Huai, Yan Shaoqing suddenly blushed, because his mother Cao was only recognized as a concubine after giving birth to him, and in the eyes of many people, a concubine is not a status at all, and it is not much different from being nameless and partless-

Yan Shaoting ignored Yan Shaoqing's shame and anger, put the chopsticks down, and said, "I'm full." He nodded to Zeng Yu again: "Mr. Zeng use it slowly." "I went back to my bedroom.

Yan Shaoqing was so angry that he couldn't eat, and said to Zeng Yu: "Mr. Zeng, you see where these people know what filial piety and friendship they have, and they are even more arrogant when they learn that Enyin is the deputy of Jinyi Wei. ”

Yan Shaoqing is also a member of the Zhongshu Society, but the Zhongshu people of the Ming Dynasty are equivalent to the cabinet miscellaneous officials, who are petty officials from the seventh grade, while the deputy Qianhu of Jinyi Wei is from the fifth grade, and the eldest son Yan Shaoqing was completely suppressed by his younger brother Yan Shaoting, and he was indignant.

Zeng Yu comforted: "Shao Ting is narrow-minded, you don't have to be like him." He said in his heart: "The building will fall, the more the shade rises, the more unlucky, what is there to be proud of in the Jinyi Wei deputy Qianhu, but the disaster is coming but I don't know it, it's really sad." Asked, "Ling Zun didn't scold Miss Yingzi, did he?" ”

Yan Shaoqing saw that Zeng Yu blamed Yan Shaoting for being small, and felt a little comforted, and replied: "I don't know about this, but when I came back from Jichang Garden, Sister Yingzi's expression was as usual, and she shouldn't have suffered any grievances." ”

Zeng Yu nodded and continued to eat, but saw Yan Shaoting come to the dining room again, and said coldly: "Mr. Zeng, I heard that you have something to teach me?" ”

Zeng Yu saw a little guy in Tsing Yi flash to the pillar in front of the hall, and knew that this little guy heard what he had just said to Yan Shaoqing, so he ran to Yan Shaoting and chewed his tongue, and said quietly: "I have something to say to you two brothers, please sit down." ”

Yan Shaoting didn't expect Zeng Yu to be so calm and composed, and said negatively: "How dare I sit in front of Mr. Zeng, stand and listen to Mr. Zeng's instructions." ”

Zeng Yu said: "Okay, then you stand, today I will talk to you and the two of you about the righteousness of brotherhood and harmony, "The Book of Filial Piety" cloud "Those who love their relatives dare not be evil to others; Those who respect their relatives dare not be slow to ,——"

Yan Shaoting came to listen to Zeng Yuxun's instructions, he came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, and saw that Zeng Yu really quoted scriptures and classics to talk about "brotherly harmony", and he was even more angry, interrupting Zeng Yu's words and said: "Mr. Zeng, this is Qishan Hall, not Yuqingtang clan studies, Mr. Zeng is too good to be a teacher." ”

Zeng Yuqi said: "Didn't you say that you want to listen to my teaching, so you want to teach me?" ”

Yan Shaoting has endured Zeng Yu for a long time, and finally broke out today, and said loudly: "Zeng Jiuli, you are just reading with you, don't always put on a shelf as a gentleman, what qualifications do you have to teach me?"

Zeng Yu stood up, grabbed Yan Shaoting's right arm, and said, "Am I qualified to teach you a lesson丨 listen to what Mr. Fang Tang says, if Mr. Fang Tang also talks like this to you, then I will leave immediately." ”

Yan Shaoting was quite afraid of his uncle Yan Shifang, but he didn't expect Zeng Yu to come up and ask him to go to Ruizhutang, and shouted: "Zeng Jiuli, don't sue if you have the ability, it's not the ability to sue." Struggling and refusing to leave, he couldn't resist Zeng Yu, who would let go, and was dragged out of the dining room all the way.

Yan Shaoting shouted: "Yan Erhu, Shan Hao, drag Zeng Jiuli away for me." ”

Yan Erhu and Shan Ho were the two healthy servants who were waiting for Yan Shaoting, and when they heard the words, they wanted to pull Zeng Yu's arm.

Zeng Yu shouted: "I'm going to Ruizhutang to ask Mr. Fang Tang to comment, what do you think?"

Yan Erhu and Shan Hao were servants after all, and as soon as Zeng Yu drank them, they looked at each other, Zeng Yu had already dragged Yan Shaoting out of the Shan Hall, and Yan Shaoqing followed behind with surprise and joy.

When he arrived outside Ruizhu Hall, Zeng Yu let go of his hand and went in by himself, Yan Shaoting saw that Yan Shaoqing was behind him, if he turned around and escaped at this time, he would make Yan Shaoqing laugh, and because of his face, he had to follow Zeng Yu into Ruizhu Hall.

Tomorrow I will strive to repay the last shift, and the lumbar spine has been very uncomfortable recently, and the debt owed can only be paid slowly.
